  • Patent number: 9240644
    Abstract: An electrical connector with improved high frequency performance. The connector has conductive elements, forming both signal and ground conductors, that have multiple points of contact distributed along an elongated dimension. The ground conductors may be formed with multiple beams of different length. The signal conductors may be formed with multiple contact regions on a single beam, with different characteristics. Signal conductors may have beams that are jogged to provide both a desired impedance and mating contact pitch. Additionally, electromagnetic radiation, inside and/or outside the connector may be shaped with an insert electrically connecting multiple ground structures and/or a contact feature coupling ground conductors to a stiffener. The conductive elements in different columns may be shaped differently to reduce crosstalk.

  • Publication number: 20140349520
    Abstract: A connector includes ferrite cores (30A, 30B) with through holes (30H). A terminal fitting (20) has tab terminals (22A, 22B) inserted into the respective through holes (30H) to define input and output portions and a base (23) couples end parts of the respective tab terminals (22A, 22B) to each other. A connector housing (11) is molded to surround the ferrite cores (30A, 30B) and the terminal fitting (20) and is connectable to a mating connector housing. The ferrite cores (30A, 30B) include long sides LL and short sides SL. Clearances S are defined between side surfaces M located on the opposite short sides SL of the ferrite cores (30A, 30B) and facing surfaces of the connector housing (11), thereby separating the side surfaces M from the facing surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20140098508
    Abstract: A direct-connect orthogonal electrical connection system with improved high frequency performance is provided. A conductive member is provided between first and second components, each having signal and ground conductors. The conductive member is electrically coupled to ground conductors of both the first and second components and may also have openings through which signal conductors of the first and second components may connect. As such, signal conductors may be positioned relative to the conductive member such that a uniform impedance is maintained along a signal path throughout the interconnection, reducing noise and reflections. The signal conductors may be formed with multiple beams of different lengths to create multiple points of contact distributed along an elongated dimension. For example, a third beam may be fused to a mating portion to allow a tolerance for deviations in alignment between two directly connected connectors.
